Evidence for Lateral gene Transfer (LGT) in the evolution of eubacteria-derived small GTPases in plant organelles

Evidence for Lateral gene Transfer (LGT) in the evolution of eubacteria-derived small GTPases in plant organelles

The genomes of free-living bacteria frequently exchange genes via lateral gene transfer (LGT), which has played a major role in bacterial evolution. LGT also played a significant role in the acquisition of genes from non-cyanobacterial bacteria to the lineage of ‘primary’ algae and land plants. Smal...
